"Let the children come to me, " Jesus said. At Faith, ministry which brings children and youth to Christ is given great importance. In response to the Family of Faith's promises made in baptism, we offer a variety of children and youth programs.

Children and Worship
Two options are readily available at Faith. First, is that we encourage families to worship together. Each week, worship is a family event. The presence of children and youth in worship is certainly a blessing. We hand out special bulletins and offer a Children's Sermon time at most worship services. Second, for those with small children unable to sit still, we offer a newly refurbished infant/childcare facility. This allows parents a chance of worshiping with some peace. Our facility is supervised by a paid Nursery Attendant from 8:15-12:15 each Sunday (during the summer months from 8:15 - 10:45).

In addition during the year, we offer two special worship services designed especially for families. On Christmas Eve, we offer a 5:00 p.m. family worship. Children's Choirs provide choral leadership and lessons are read from a children's version of the Bible. On Good Friday, we offer a Children's Cross Walk. Children participate in a variety of activities as they follow Jesus' steps to the cross. They are each given a special Good Friday Egg to help them prepare for the miracle of Easter.

Children and Giving
The value of servant giving - stewardship - is one that needs to be taught and learned in our "me-first" culture. Four years ago the decision was made that all Sunday Church School offerings would go directly to a special project, to which the children could become excited about giving.
